正确答案E ： Australia embryologists have found evidence to suggest that the elephant is descended from an aquatic animal
and that its trunk originally evolved as a kind of snorkel.
疑问：
1.‘and ’两边应该平行但是为么 that the elephant is descended from an aquatic ，而 that its trunk originally evolved 一个一般现在时，一个过去时，这样平行吗？

2.假设上边句子成立，两个都表示在陈述事实，那么把evolved改成 was evolved 可以吗？

求高人解答，不胜感激！

evolved就是谓语，是不及物动词evolve的过去式。

明白了它是谓语thx
但不明白为什么evolved要用过去时~

从意思上了解：因为象鼻作为水下通气管使用应该是大象还是“an aquatic animal”时期的事情，所以是过去时
句子中的线索：originally作为过去时的线索

snor?kel [countable] a tube that allows someone who is swimming to breathe air under water

o?rig?i?nal?ly in the beginning, before other things happened or before things changed:
The family originally came from France.
The building was originally used as a prison.
We originally intended to stay for just a few days.
